Pedestrian Accidents

Thousands of pedestrians, bicyclists, skateboarders, rollerbladers, and other non-occupants are injured or killed in accidents every year. Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that in 2011, pedestrians accounted for 14% of total traffic fatalities. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that one pedestrian is injured every 8 minutes and one dies every 2 hours in a traffic accident. Victims of pedestrian accidents often suffer catastrophic injuries, traumatic brain injuries, other personal injuries, and sometimes death.

Pedestrian accidents have the potential to negatively impact your health, your family, your job, and your quality of life. Even an apparently minor pedestrian accident may result in serious injuries. If you have been hurt because someone was negligent, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries, including pain and suffering, past and future medical bills, and lost income.
